The Fearbook: David Berkowitz

My reading standard is 11.R.5.1. I have summarized this on a different document. Right now, I have changed up my 20% time process. For two weeks, I have been going through The Fearbook. It shows the most evil and gruesome men in history. It shows Ted Bundy, Albert De Salvo (The Boston Strangler), and also the Gary Ridgeway (Green River Killer). The Fearbook shows a picture of them, information on them, their nicknames, etc.


The first man I decided I wanted to talk about was the first man listed in The Fearbook, David Berkowitz also known as “The Son of Sam”. He shot couples with a .44 caliber just so he can get his crime in the newspaper or on the news. Throughout the investigation, detectives and the news station received threatening letters from David Berkowitz just stating why isn’t he in the news or in the papers. He kept scolding the detectives that they weren’t looking for the right person. When the detectives realize that it was him, they finally arrested David Berkowitz. All David said to the detectives was, “You finally got me. What took you so long?” Now David is held in a correctional facility in Sullivan County, New York.
